Event wizard

The Event Creation Wizard allows you to quickly initialize a new file with

• the settings corresponding to a predefined competition type

• some data resulting from the choice of a sports federation, such as the official set of age groups

All in just 2 steps.

Step 1

In the first step you can start by entering the name of the event, its organizer and its date.

Then the choice of discipline on the left gives access to a certain number of predefined race types. Don't panic if you don't find yours or if your event doesn't have a very standard format, you can always adapt the file settings when you exit the wizard or later.

In some cases, selecting generic criteria can also help you, as in this example where I want to create a running race that will be done in laps and as a time trial:

The choice of the sports federation is important, it makes it possible to automatically retrieve the official categories, to assign the correct nationality code file, etc.

The federation you need is not yet present? Do not hesitate to let us know and we can add it to the list.

Step 2

The second step of the wizard allows you to specify the most important characteristics of the competition according to its type. For example:

• the number of laps to be completed or the duration of the race for a lap race

• the number and type of stages for a stage race

• the legs for a relay race

But also the general structure for the event:

• the different races if there will be many

• the intermediate split points

From this point on you just have to click on Create the event and start working on the data.

Good to know, don't forget the New event from an existing event feature. Even faster and more efficient if you have already managed the same or a similar test. The new file takes over all the settings of the old one, without the data.
